Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.
Government of Wales Bill
Part 5 of the Bill deals with financial aspects, including the creation of a Welsh consolidated fund. Would it not be wise, in the light of the immense progress that has been made as a result of our Government’s policies on Wales, to find a way of equalising the treatment of regions in England that are comparable with Wales in relation to the Barnett formula? Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire have almost identical populations to Wales, as well as a very similar social and economic mix, but our treatment as regards Government-distributed funds is less generous.
